24.5 Conclusions

In conclusion, the majority of sports-related craniomaxillofacial injuries are of a minor nature including soft tissue lacerations followed by dentoalveolar fractures and minor facial bone fractures. The most frequently recorded maxillofacial bone fractures involve the mandible, the zygomatic and nasal bone and occur during team sports, such as soccer and rugby, as a consequence of an impact against another player. Dentoalveolar fractures always require intraoral periapical films to obtain adequate image detail. CT is the modality of choice for the most complete evaluation of the facial skeleton and facial soft tissues.
